Their commission was suspicious.

Vilvi had always thought that the name "Devil" associated with Mebius was just a rumor, but she never expected it to become a real thing.

“No, I think you’ve misunderstood. Möbius really didn’t insult me. What I meant was that if Dr. Möbius wanted to insult someone, he should insult the person next to me.” Chen Luo released his hand from Kevin’s shoulder.

Chen Luo and Mebius had never played this kind of game before, after all, Chen Luo wasn't that kind of person.

"..." by Kevin.

"In short, since individuals suspected of being Herrschers are using the Seven Saints summoning medium to transmit the virus, we naturally need to be careful. Spacie, when you are conducting research on the patients who have been brought in, it would be best to avoid personal contact..."

"Don't worry, all of this is written in the Fire-Chasing Moth Manual. I certainly won't fall for this kind of trick," Spassy said confidently.

"Where were we? Oh, right, Mei, why did you keep me here?" Wilvi reminded her as the conversation veered off course.

"Oh, it's like this, I'm planning to create a mechanical body for Prometheus, do you think it's possible, Vilvie?"

"Huh? Can you do that? Take away the 'ma'! But... I'm busy with the Sixth Divine Key right now. And if you want to create a humanoid body for Prometheus, it's not appropriate to come to me; you should come to him." Velvi pointed directly at Chen Luo.

“Of course I can create a body for Prometheus, and I can guarantee that it will be both beautiful and functional. But Lolo is different. In addition to ensuring practicality, Lolo can also guarantee aesthetics and smoothness. He really understands the human body. It would be perfect to find him to create a humanoid body, because I really don’t have time right now. You might not believe it, but Lolo is also a puppeteer,” Velvey said.

"Luo? Can you do it?" Dr. Mei asked Chen Luo.

"I've also thought about creating a doll wife for myself. Creating a mechanical doll is definitely not a problem, but..."

"But there's no time?"

"Dr. Mei, you really understand me."

"But after you finish the fusion surgery tomorrow morning, you won't need to deal with any maintenance related to the Seven Saints Summoning anymore, because the game will be temporarily shut down for a long time."

"But……"

"But there's still no time." Dr. Mei had already thought of the excuse Chen Luo would give.

“That’s right, Dr. Mei, you are really too smart.”

“However, according to the higher-ups’ thinking, the budget for Möbius Labs this quarter will be cut again… If you can complete this business, then it is reasonable to increase the budget.” As Dr. Mei said this, she also stared at Chen Luo, seemingly intending to see Chen Luo’s reaction.

“Since it’s Dr. Mei’s request, I will definitely do my best to fulfill it. But may I make another request?” Chen Luo asked tentatively.

"what?"

"I will help Prometheus create a mechanical body. Once it's finished, you don't have to use the body, but you cannot copy it!"

"Exclusive patent?"

"That's roughly the idea. Of course, if you're too satisfied with the mechanical body, you can ask me to continue making it." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo does indeed possess the anti-counterfeiting mark of a direct descendant of puppeteers, but the problem is that some idiots genuinely don't recognize this mark, such as the pre-civilization Fire-Chasing Moths who haven't even come into contact with the concept of imaginary numbers.

As a puppeteer, Chen Luo still has his own occupational hazard.

"Okay." Dr. Mei nodded.

Anyway, someone has to do it. It's not an easy job, so let Chen Luo monopolize it if he wants.

"Moreover, I can make reasonable use of the resources of the Fire-Chasing Moth... I mean the resources needed to make the Prometheus Shell."

"no problem."

Reasonable request.

“Then there’s no problem. Give me a month… no, if I have soul steel, give me two weeks, and I can finish making it.”

"The design and manufacture of Prometheus's commonly used mechs will then be entrusted to you," Dr. May decided.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay. Let's go, Prometheus. Come back to my dorm with me first, I'll help you take some measurements. My dorm is quite big."

"..."

Prometheus remained silent, but a projection of Prometheus appeared on the communicator in Chen Luo's left hand.

"By the way, Prometheus, do you need a charging port?"

"..." by Prometheus.

"Is it really okay to let Lolo design Prometheus's mechanical body?" Dr. Mei looked at Chen Luo, who was happily interacting with Prometheus, with some concern.

"Don't worry, Lolo has a special love for dolls. You can rest assured about my apprentice."

"No, that's precisely why I'm even more worried."

"Mei, are you doubting my teaching ability?" Wilvi asked, somewhat unconvinced.

"No, I don't mean the second sentence, I mean the first sentence."

"..."

Although Wilvi wanted to defend Chen Luo, she subtly refrained from refuting his previous statement that he wanted a doll wife.

Chapter 1268 Prometheus would be meaningless if it weren't used to generate erotic images!

"The first step in making a doll is to cultivate an emotional bond."

"..."

The projection of Prometheus stood silently opposite Chen Luo, not understanding why he needed to cultivate feelings with Chen Luo first.

Is this guy out of his mind?

“I am just an artificial intelligence; I have no human emotions,” Prometheus said.

Although Prometheus has collected a large amount of data about humanity, it is only artificial intelligence and is still a long way from becoming a truly intelligent life form.

"Okay, then why don't you try to like me first?"

"I'm going to report your harassment record to Dr. Mei."

"Hey, wait a minute, calm down. We can skip step 1 for now and come back to it later. Step 2 is measuring body data. Oh, by the way, could you delete my previous conversation?"

“No,” Prometheus replied coldly.

"I always feel like you have a lot of opinions about me," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"No, I'm just an artificial intelligence, so I won't have any issues with you," Prometheus denied again.

“Very good, that’s the tone and sentence structure for shirking responsibility. Prometheus, you did a great job. Speaking of which, Prometheus, do you know me? I’ve always been quite fond of artificial intelligence,” Chen Luo said with interest.

Chen Luo felt that Prometheus really had great potential.

"..."

"Don't be so cold, okay? Give me some feedback. If you want me to make a mechanical body for you, first I need to develop enough love for you. I don't expect you to be proactive. Just cooperate a little and I'll fill in the blanks in my mind, okay?"

“Yes, but I will report the current conversation to Dr. May in writing in a moment,” Prometheus replied coldly.

"Forget about your Dr. Mei, and forget about the report... Alright, let's start making the doll. Do you have any requirements for your body? I'll try my best to meet them." Chen Luo has always been very attentive to the user experience.

【Prometheus-brand Prometheus】: Create a mechanical body for Prometheus. The higher Prometheus's satisfaction with it, the greater the reward.

Reward: 666 Primogems + Prometheus? % (Higher satisfaction level results in higher completeness)

Difficulty: 3 stars

This is Dr. Mei's request.

The more satisfied Prometheus is, the greater the final reward may be.

Maybe Chen Luo will eventually get a Prometheus.

In fact, Chen Luo already has a Prometheus, which is the original consciousness in the Void Treasury. Every Divine Key contains a part of Prometheus.

Chen Luo wasn't very confident in his ability to train this artificial intelligence, but at least it wouldn't be as unfamiliar as the consciousness in the Void Treasury was when it first met Chen Luo, which was quite reasonable.

Because the First Divine Key was the first Divine Key to appear, its Prometheus component was already implanted within it.

Of course, the First Divine Key was the earliest to appear, but the latest to be completed.

Prometheus and Chen Luo weren't familiar with each other at first, so it's normal that Void Treasury and Chen Luo weren't familiar with each other either.

Chen Luo didn't return to his dormitory. Instead, he went to Wilwick's Spiral Workshop. Although Chen Luo's dormitory did have tools for making dolls, they were only good for making small dolls. Making large mechanical dolls was a bit of a stretch. After Wilwick recognized Chen Luo's apprentice-level engineering skills, she also said that Chen Luo could use the materials in the Spiral Workshop at will.

Chen Luo never cared about satisfaction, because he could guarantee that he could create a mechanical body that would absolutely satisfy Prometheus.

The answer is already clearly written in the Book of Akasha, but Chen Luo is wondering whether he should bring Prometheus a little something of his own.

Soul Steel is a very good material, extremely ductile, and quite easy to process. It also has a super strong resistance to Honkai. In the end, Chen Luo decided to add a little something extra to Prometheus and give Dr. Mei and the others a little shock of imaginary numbers!

As Dr. Mei and her team gain a deeper understanding of the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea in the Honkai world, the official settings for Chen Luo's abilities in the previous civilization must evolve with the times.

Moreover, Chen Luo was able to suppress the Honkai Beast genes within Kevin's body thanks to the power of imaginary numbers.

Therefore, Chen Luo decided to incorporate some imaginary elements into Prometheus's mechanical body.

The only thing that Chen Luo found regrettable was that because he was creating a mechanical body, he couldn't be too unrestrained in terms of realism, otherwise he might get criticized by Dr. Mei for an entire afternoon.

Prometheus wasn't just saying she'd report it to Dr. May; she really did.

No, we need to find a way to get some access from Prometheus!

Because Prometheus is prone to tattling, forget about things like charging ports.

When Chen Luo used to make dolls, he paid special attention to realism. For example, he would use human skills to make the eyes, elbows, knees and other parts perfect to the point of being comparable to real people. However, since this is a pre-civilization, some science fiction elements should be retained so that people can tell at a glance that this is indeed a robot and not a real person.

"Why do you like artificial intelligence?" Prometheus asked, watching Chen Luo begin to manufacture the parts for his mechanical body.

Prometheus was still concerned.

"Because of passion."

"Passion? Is that the only reason?"

"No, there are two reasons."

"???"

"I love your confused look. The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is to create an AI that possesses human emotions and logic but far surpasses the information processing capabilities of the human brain. But I'm different; my ultimate goal is to create an AI girlfriend."

"Human emotions..."

"Yes, human emotions."

"But I am just an artificial intelligence."

"Don't panic. In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people in the world..."

"What two kinds of people?" Prometheus asked, having waited for Chen Luo for a long time without hearing him continue.

"Secret."

"..." It's just that Prometheus doesn't have much human emotion right now, otherwise he really would have killed Chen Luo with one punch.

In Chen Luo's eyes, there are really only two kinds of existence in the world.

One type of commission can be made to Chen Luofa, and the other type cannot.

Prometheus currently belongs to the latter category; the time when Prometheus becomes the former is the time when she transforms into "human."

Although humans are not a race worth striving for, the existence of humans is truly fascinating.

To be human, physical appearance is not the most important thing.

Just like Alicia, Alicia now also has a pair of elf ears that are not similar to those of humans, but Alicia can indeed be called human.

For Chen Luo, as long as someone can send him a request, it means that the other party already possesses desires and emotions.

Once you possess human emotions, it doesn't matter whether you're human or not.

Besides, how many non-human beings has Chen Luo seen?

"Don't be angry. I'll let you know when I feel you've truly developed human emotions." Chen Luo really wanted to pat Prometheus's head, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Otherwise, Chen Luo was quite curious whether artificial intelligence could become artificially stupid after being patted on the head.

"Oh, by the way, Prometheus, you've already stopped operating the Seven Sages Summoning, right?"

"Yes."

"Then some of your computing power can be freed up, right?"

"Yes."

"Does this portion of your computing power currently have an owner?"

"Not yet, we are still waiting for Dr. Mei to issue the task."
